Back on with this.

I've just picked up the wheels after building and truing, by my LBS.

Nice to see original Chrome left as is...looking good.

So, after a hard day baby minding, I had my tea, and gave myself an hour in the cave.

I fitted the tyres and tubes to the wheels, and added some simple alloy valve caps. I've fitted them just as a mock up at the minute.

It's undone now Nick, I have the proper rims/hubs now, will get them laced up once the SS is completed.

Cheers Steve, I'm hoping to ride this on every ride next year to get it weathered, so that it does look very BITD.

I can't wait to get brake rub on that back rim, and skid on the tyre.

Well, that statement alone should be enough to start your search again mate.

Very nice Dan. Give it a good thrashing when the rides start up again

It's looking great Daniel

So, I want to ride this and the survivor parts I need aren't showing up anywhere (but I don't hunt too hard), so I've ordered a repop calliper from Alan's, and some chrome chainring bolts off eBay.

I couldn't get a repop left hand lever in black either, unless I bought a pair. I would have preferred an OG survivor Tech 3, but again, not much up for sale lately. So, as a short-term measure, I took one of the spare copy levers off the shelf in the Man Cave, and took the sandpaper to it, to get the used look.
